British Art and Artists at Red Rag GalleryArtist: Andrew MACARA

Andrew Macara was born in Derbyshire in 1944. Although Andrew Macara studied contemporary modern British Art for a short period with Leonard Fuller at the St Ives School of Painting he considers himself a self taught artist.

Today Andrew Macara has one of the most distinctive styles of present day contemporary British Artists and has enjoyed considerable success. He is a member of the prestigous New English Art Club having been elected in 1984

Talking about Macara's paintings, Professor Ken Howard RA says: 'I have known and admired his work for many years.Although he has painted
many different subjects over the years, the subject is always incidental to light. His paintings glow and as with all the best paintings of light they
never describe, they are always an equivalent for light - the light comes from the canvas. As well as being full of light his paintings are also full of life.
Whether it be life on the beach, in the playground, or in the zoo, Andrew simplifies but always captures the essence of his subject, his work is full of movement, atmosphere and space. His paintings are deservedly popular for he touches the everyday joy of life.'

Andrew Macara has undertaken several painting commissions for Public and Private Modern British Art collectors. These include: a series of contemporary paintings for Sir Anthony and Lady Bamford; Scott Bader Company; New Parliamentary Building; Westminster and Hilton Hotel Group for their corporate headquarters.

Andrew Macara travels extensively gathering images for paintings from around the world. But his native Derbyshire continues to feature in many paintings - particularly the more recent Winter scenes. Other subjects with strong demand are Andrew's British seaside paintings.

Andrew Macara is now established as a very collectible contemporary figurative artist. His contemporary paintings are always in demand and much sought after. And, over the years his paintings have proved to be a good British Art Investment.

In addition to Red Rag British Art Gallery Andrew Macara art work has been exhibited at other leading British Art Galleries. Each painting at Red Rag is sourced from the Andrew Macara artist studio and like all Red Rag British art and Contemporary art it can be shipped worldwide.

Human beings have always had an intimate relationship with the water. Given the amount of the earths surface which is covered in water and the often unpredictable and life-changing nature of the sea, it is little wonder that seascapes have been such a popular subject for so long and no surprise that seascape paintings have an important place in the history of art.

Seascape paintings have a long history in both the Eastern and Western worlds.The walls of homes have been adorned with seascape paintings since the art of the secular painting first began to overtake religious works in numbers and importance.

As a country with an extensive coastline, paintings of seascapes have always had a special attraction to British artists. All the seascape paintings at Red Rag showcase the talent of British painters and their ability to depict changing light on water and rapidly altering climatic conditions. Many of the British artists who have painted these seascape paintings are also talented landscape painters, or worked in other genres as well as seascapes, such as still life or portraiture.
